139: My wise ministers

Wang Yifan looked at the battle report, his tightly clenched hand revealing the agitation within him.

"Strange, how strange. I didn't expect my deployment this time to be blocked again."

"Hmph, I wonder who is supporting the Former Three Kingdoms Territory this time."

"To actually disrupt my deployment, they are truly courting death!"

Wang Yifan let out a cold snort, his fist clenching tightly.

A terrifying aura of the Golden Core Realm surged and billowed, causing the atmosphere of the entire banquet to sink.

One must know that in order to completely control the Western Yan Dynasty, he had already done countless things.

Just when he was finally about to turn it into his own backyard, he didn't expect it to be disrupted by someone.

In order to quell the situation as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to mobilize all his followers, all for the sake of a quick victory.

However, following the conclusion of several major battles, he actually lost more than he won.

This convinced him that there must also be a mastermind manipulating things behind the scenes.

Therefore, he summoned two people: one was a Core Disciple of the Dao Immortal Sect, and the other was his lover.

A Disciple of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect, Dan.

They had just received news, and according to reports from scouts, this Former Three Kingdoms Territory had already become a dragon's pool and tiger's den, making it difficult to deal with.

Moreover, he also felt that there were spies within the Western Yan Dynasty.

He just didn't know who these spies were.

His gaze swept over everyone present, and his Golden Core Realm aura erupted without restraint.

If anyone were found to be suspicious by him, killing them on the spot would be considered a light punishment.

Logically speaking, the several forces already identified behind the Former Three Kingdoms Territory Alliance did not have the guts to cross him.

Those small Sects and factions, how could they have more followers than him, Wang Yifan?

"Needless to say, there is even deeper water behind them."

"Hmph, I have already invited strong reinforcements from the Sect."

"Regardless of who they are, as long as they dare to oppose me, I will slaughter them all!"

Wang Yifan's gaze was cold, and his voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Halfway through the wine, a Cloud Heaven Sect Disciple walked in from outside the tent.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Li Kaiyan has arrived."

"Quickly, invite him in!"

Beside him, the True Disciple of the Dao Immortal Sect spoke.

"Brother Wang, what kind of person is this Li Kaiyan?"

Hearing this, Wang Yifan's lips curled up: "Him? He possesses a companion Cultivation Technique and has been very popular within the Sect recently."

"He has actually integrated nearly thirty Core Disciples for his own use."

"He established a force called something like the Hundred Core Association."

"To bring him over, I paid a great price."

"However, if we take down the Former Three Kingdoms Territory and the entire Western Yan Dynasty, and then obtain that item, our strength will definitely be able to improve once again!"

"No matter how high the price is, it's worth it!"

His eyes flickered with an ambitious gleam.

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the Former Three Kingdoms Territory, Southern Unification Dynasty, within the main rear camp of the Former Three Kingdoms Territory Allied Forces.

A luxurious banquet was also being held.

Melons, fruits, and delicacies were arranged neatly, with singing girls playing and singing, their dance moves graceful and moving.

There were three seats on each side of the banquet, and five guests were sitting around talking.

The three people on the left were wearing magnificent auspicious gold-gilded Dragon robes, wearing various exquisite crowns, looking high-spirited and vigorous.

When observing with True Qi, one could see three faint little Dragons circling around their bodies.

And compared to the two sitting on the right, it formed a sharp contrast.

One man had a gentle smile on his face, and although his appearance was ordinary, his eye sockets slightly sunken, he revealed a depth that could not be ignored.

There was also a woman wearing a pitch-black mask, constantly muttering something strange.

Her arms were pressed tightly against her chest, and she kept whispering some strange words.

Everyone was already accustomed to this, and time passed slowly in this strange atmosphere.

"It seems that one probably won't be able to come."

The man spoke, his tone flat yet revealing a trace of unquestionable majesty.

"Now, report to me the recent progress of the war situation."

He said indifferently. Although his tone was calm, everyone present could feel the oppression emanating from his body without exception.

The two on the left immediately began to report the war situation, fearing any mistakes.

After listening, the ordinary-looking young man nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the woman in the gold robe.

"What about your side?" He asked the woman.

"My side... the war situation is not very good. I don't know why, but the Western Yan Dynasty has increased a large number of troops."

"No, I don't care about this."

"Everything is under my control."

The man stood up, walked toward the woman in the gold robe, and came before her.

"What I am more concerned about is, when will you make up your mind to offer yourself to me?"

He looked down at the woman in front of him, his expression cold and cruel.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face became very ugly.

"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid your Southern Unification Dynasty would have fallen, right?"

"Shouldn't the price you should pay be honored?!"

The man laughed, then raised his hand, his cultivation sweeping out, easily capturing her and pulling her into his arms.

"Half-step Golden Core!"

The remaining two were terrified when they saw this scene, all regretting that they should not have sought them out.

Being humiliated like this in public, even the most determined person would be angry.

But they could not; they had the common people, the ministers, and the desire to revive the foundation of the late emperor. These were their weaknesses.

The man groped her unscrupulously, then seemed to lose interest and let her go.

He was merely trying to intimidate these three this time.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"Dogs, dogs, dogs, you are all dogs of my Black Blood Mountain City!"

"Behave obediently, and you can sit firmly on your throne; you are still emperors!"

"Otherwise, hmph."

The many dancing girls watched this scene and forgot to move for a moment.

"I will have someone bring you the next plan."

"You should also stop your little tricks."

And the man glanced at the dancing girls again, "That's it, I'm leaving. Remember to clean them up!"

Hearing this, the dancing girls turned pale.

The man's figure dissipated, and the masked woman also stood up, stepped back, and disappeared into the corner of the tent.

"Someone come, kill them all."

"Damn Black Blood Mountain City!"

The banquet dispersed, and the woman returned to her tent.

Throwing herself onto the bed, she was filled with anger.

Regardless of everything, she was still a female emperor, how could she be willing to be humiliated like this?

If it weren't for her lack of strength, if it weren't for the bigger picture, if it weren't for reviving the late emperor's foundation, if it weren't for...

She could only endure it. If it weren't for the power behind the other party, she would not be able to restore the ancestral foundation of the Southern Unification Dynasty.

If she had countless capable people and virtuous ministers of the state under her command, why would she need to look at others' faces to act?

"My virtuous ministers of the state, where are you exactly?"

She was very depressed and wanted to be quiet for a while.

Unfortunately, heaven does not grant wishes. Just at this moment, someone came looking for her.

This was a general of the Southern Unification Dynasty, and he brought the latest memorial.

The emperor personally leading an expedition, and reports being delivered to the army, was a tradition of the Southern Unification Dynasty.

She suppressed her emotions, took the battle report memorial, and began to read it.

Entering the state of reviewing, she seemed to become a different person, focused and careful.

But after some corrections, one memorial successfully caught her attention.

She slowly picked it up and read it out.

"The army-accompanying Cultivator fake name captured a large number of Western Yan Dynasty Cultivators."

"Captured alive one person at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, twenty at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and nearly four hundred Cultivators below Foundation Establishment."

"According to the investigation, his cultivation base is at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, his combat power is strong, directly approaching the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"His figure and manner are very young, under one hundred years old."

"Good, good, good, isn't this exactly the virtuous minister of the state that I have been looking for?"

The Southern Unification female emperor was overjoyed, wishing she could go see this guy named fake name immediately.
